Tributes have poured in for popular Sliema flower lady with customers this morning paying tribute by laying flowers and candles next to her florist van. 

Doris Axisa, 66, who ran The Rose Shop Florist stall on the Sliema Strand, died last Friday after she fell during a boat trip to Comino.

She died at Gozo General Hospital after being airlifted there by a helicopter.

Shortly after the news emerged, many resorted to social media to narrate their encounters with Ms Axisa and to recall the kind way she treated them.

Her funeral was held this morning, with her family urging those attending to wear different colours because her mother hated the colour black.
